Biographical Note
The Anderson family genealogy begins with John Howe and Rachel Pindell. Howe and Pindell were married on July 26, 1782 in Cat Fish Camp, Pennsylvania. Howe, a sergeant during the Revolutionary War, moved to New Albany, Indiana in 1810 along with his wife. While in New Albany, the Howe’s started their family and Howe eventually fathered fifteen children. In 1834, John Howe settled in Lima, Indiana in Lagrange County. In 1884, Lima was renamed Howe Village in honor of John Howe.
